As someone who hasn't played Honkai Impact 3, learning about parts of the lore from their interactions, Acheron's backstory and other sources has truly been fascinating. I hope Welt gets explored more. I'm really interested to know how much his role expands based on his HI3 connection.

[@magnashake]

I'd highly recommend you play HI3, genuinely the best game story I've ever experienced. But only if you have patience, as some chapters are _really_ boring

@@magnashake I've considered it but I don't feel like putting the time into yet another gacha game right now (I'm already accustomed to Genshin and Star Rail). Maybe later on.

@@phanindravaibhav3319 If you want to play Hi3 just for the story then fear not.

In my opinion the best gift humanity got was both his AND Elysia's birth Elysia's sacrifice gave humanity a small fighting chance and Kevin was the only one with a will strong enough to secure that small chance of victory Ofc I'm not saying other people in PE was not important it's just that, these 2 and Dr. MEI were the most important for humanity's victory

It's not exactly the same. The Project Stigma creates a situation that forces people to awaken Stigma. The Dream World is merely a place to comfort those who can't move forward (awaken Stigma) before they are devoured as part of Stigma. Those who can awaken Stigma will become survivors of the new human civilization. Ena's Dream, on the other hand, is an ideal world, a paradise that helps people according to the idea of ​​Penacony's boss.

[@FireBlueZ]

What Welt Yang said there is basically that they only succeed because of Kevin's plan on Project Stigma, and without that St Freya still wouldn't find a way to defeat HoTE or might be never. Kevin sacrifices himself and push the boundaries of other strength to achieve that one thin possibility on saving the human civilization, and his plan come with two different outcomes. It's either the worst outcome, which is the sustainability of human civilization without the future, or the best outcome where one transcends the Finality and keep civilization future without Honkai, and both outcomes come with himself as the sacrifice. Kevin never lost the the battle against St.Freya valks, and it never was a battle between kind and evil, it's a battle set by Kevin as the only battle that will decide the best possible outcome for earth. He kept his promised to Flamechaser, and he kept his promise to Elysia.

The realization that her world’s Kiana and Bronya died, she alone had to defeat Kevin to save everyone.

Unlike Otto. Kevin became a villain for the sake of humanity. He wanted humanity to surpass the Honkai. He wanted to make everyone happy and most of all, the ones who he truly cared for. He just went about it wrong

No. He just did what he needed to do. He didn't went wrong, because if he didn't became the final villain, the final threat for humanity; Kiana, Mei and Bronya would have never needed to overpass their own powers, and then they would have lost to Finality; Kevin was the most heroic person for humanity, by becoming the enemy of humanity itself.

If Kevin from HSR is as strong as Kevin from HI3rd and Acheron managed to defeat him, it wouldn't make any sense at all for HSR's story because Acheron is just an emanator. And also, if we're using that argument, Herrschers are at least on the level of emanators and Kevin one-shots them on a regular basis that his final form literally took 3 beings (Kiana, Mei, Bronya) on almost the same level as him to take him down. This guy throws moon-sized black holes like they're just volleyballs in his final battle.

Acheron, and Welt, two very similar powerful individuals, yet, two with VERY differing pasts, and philosophical worldviews. Welt's story, back in his home world, tells the tale of a hero's legacy, and how he taught the lesson of how POWERFUL hope can be in the face of hardship. While Acheron's story, tells a tale of despair, and loss, how insignificant, and meaningless everything can be in the face of adversity. Both of their stories speak POWERFUL messages, and touch upon EQUALLY powerful lessons. However, as I like Welt's side of the story, and his worldview perspective on things, especially that man (aka Kevin) that he's referring to back in his world, I feel as though, that one that hasn't experienced, let alone gone through the harsh reality of what it means to truly lose EVERYTHING, let alone feel TRUE despair, the complete absence of hope, can NEVER truly understand what it means to possess REAL hope, let alone TRUE strength, in the face of overcoming challenges that are difficult to overcome, let alone accept. For Welt has never experienced the same kind of hardship Acheron has gone through for him to hold onto any kind of, "hope", when all was lost. Of course, Welt never experienced that same kind of reality that Acheron did, so he can't speak, nor know what it must've been like to experience what it means to have any hope to live for in the first place. P.S. 4:24 - 5:10 That last line that Acheron delivered before answering Welt's question captures her point BEAUTIFULLY. It completely DESTROYED Welt's naive philosophy, and perception on hope. And this is the reason why I absolutely LOVE the emotional depth of her character. It really does feel like Acheron was a survivor who has gone through the MOST hardship out of EVERYONE leading to her growth. Out of ALL the characters in Star Rail, thus far, nobody comes close to Acheron's character.

i think kevin also know that despair

[@rahman11d]

​@@Taoist.chan2006 he definitely did after he went through, kinda broke me how he had to cross sword with fu hua too in the end, knowing she was the only other survivor from their era (not counting griseo and su since he didn't even get to meet them/acknowledge their survival)

[@ozone8839]

In your last paragraph you say Acheron destroys Welt’s naive philosophy but I don’t understand why? She merely says that the end of the story is different and that ultimately she sees a void of nothing after reaching the metaphorical light where Welt sees new paths to new metaphorical lights building upon the foundations laid in the past by predecessors reaching previous lights. I don’t see either of them destroying each other’s philosophical beliefs here. Merely two interesting philosophical opinions and observations on reality by two people who have seemingly experienced a lot of what existence has to offer.

@@ozone8839 Apparently you didn't understood the meaning of Acheron's message, let alone the weight behind her words in what they actually mean. What Welt believes in according to Acheron's view is only but an illusion, a temporary fleeting moment of self-reassurance for ourselves, a denial to believe in that that there will forever be light (aka hope) at the end of the tunnel. But that's where he's wrong. For light is akin to that of a flickering candlelit flame, soon, even too, its finite flame will perish. As all things in life naturally will. The hope Welt believes in for humanity throughout his analogy is only a temporary, as well as it is a shortsighted philosophical view. There's nothing inherently special beyond, "reaching new heights", across the vast skies, and horizons of the sun (aka light), when only to find that nothingness is what greets us, by the end of it all. For nothingness is what predates, as well as what EVERYTHING returns back to, in the end. But in the short moments that you have, you learn to make use of it. Before it's all gone, and reduced to nothing.
